BEAUTY-PILLOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 4, 1909.

Application filed May 23, 1908. Serial No. 434:,586.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELOIsE Frrzn, citizen of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beauty-Pillows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in pillow construction.

The object of my invention is to provide a pillow which on account of its angular construction will draw the flesh of anyone sleeping on same back toward the scalp and thus eliminate wrinkling of the skin.

A further object of my invention is to provide a illow of the character described which wi i be strong, durable, simple and effi cient, and comparatively inexpensive to construct. I

With the above and other ob'ects in view, my invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction and operation, an example of which is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, Fig. 3 is a side elevation, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line :c-r of Fig. 1.

In the drawings the numeral 1 designates a portion of a frame built of any suitable material and hinged at 2 and 3. A piece 4 similar to 1 running parallel to 1 is hinged at 5 and 6 and is connected to 1 by the slats 7 and 8 at its outer ends, while the slat 9 con nects that portion of ends 1 and 4 that lies between the hinges 2 and 3, and 5 and 6. A coil compression spring 10 is mounted on the end 1 between the hinges 2 and 3. On the end 4 a compression spring 11, somewhat longer than spring 10, is mounted between the hinges 5 and 6. A ridge bar 12 is fixed on the springs 10 and 11 so that it will form a support for a piece of flexible fabric 14 which is fastened to the slat 7 and brought across the ridge bar 12 and fastened to the slat S. The springs 10 and 11 will give enough slack in the fabric to allow the head of anyone using the pillow to rest easy. The weight of the head will be thrown from the highest point and in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 3. T he flesh or skin, will be drawn in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 2, thus wrinkles will be drawn. back into the scalp.

When not in use the pillow may be folded, one side being folded in the hinges 2 and 5 and made to lie flat against the ridge bar 12 while the other side is folded in the hinges 3 and 6 and made to do likewise. The illow when folded can be conveniently kept without taking much space.

What I claim, is:

1. In a pillow, the combination with a folding frame, of a bar disposed at an angle to the plane of the frame and arranged above the frame, resilient moans supporting the bar and extending from the frame, and a flexible covering extending over the bar and connected with the frame.

2. In a pillow, a horizontal frame, a bar disposed at an angle to the plane of the frame and over the central portion thereof, resilient means for su porting the bar over the frame, and a flexiblb covering extending over the bar and having its ends connected with the frame.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
